Being considered a professional is important. But most of us are 'old' professionals, not old in age, but old in thinking style and approach to living. Old professionals separate science and spirit and think in terms of either/or - 'you're either for me, or against me.' New professionals connect science and spirit and think in both/and terms.

Trillions of Dollars Down the Drain?

Devorah rocked gently in a trance. “I see a time of plenty
thousands of years in the future when there will be enough money, technology
and energy to feed, clothe and educate every human being. Yet,” she paused and
sighed, “the people know not the plenty in their midst, nor see the
opportunities in and around them but dwell instead on lack and limitation,
fear, hate, blame and punishment.

“I see the richest country ever forsake the ideals that made
it great and spend 3-4 trillion dollars on fruitless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I see this same country spend
another 3 trillion dollars on financial bailouts.” Devorah shuddered and shook
her head sadly. “Seven trillion dollars! An unimaginable sum! Could it not
clothe and educate every human being in that country AND the world? Is it
possible for these people, these Americans, to awaken and reclaim their ideals?”

About Me

Writing metaphysical novels is my avocation. Coaching people to get, as Emerson said, "their bloated nothingness out of the way of the divine circuits," is a joy. Bike riding outdoors is an experience of the magnificence that we all have always present within and outside of us.
